What is the minimum order quantity when importing agro commodities from India?

Most dry commodities like Kabuli chickpeas, maize, areca nut and tobacco ship in a full 20-foot container (about 25 MT). Perishables like ginger, garlic and bananas ship in reefer containers of 20–27 MT. Smaller LCL orders are possible for trial shipments.

How long does shipping from India take?

Ocean transit typically ranges from 12–15 days to the Middle East, 18–25 days to Europe and North Africa, and 25–35 days to the Americas and Far East, depending on port pair and routing.

Which Incoterm is safest for a first-time buyer?

CIF is the simplest for a first shipment — the exporter arranges ocean freight and cargo insurance up to the destination port, so the buyer only needs a local customs broker.

Can MFS Global Industries do private-label packaging?

Yes. We handle custom retail packs, private-label printing and buyer-supplied artwork for pulses, spices and specialty commodities, subject to minimum order quantities.
